1 Prologue 1.2: The Birth of MC

In the breeze of snow outside of the luxurious manor. You could see two figures clings to each other as if seeking warmth. The delicate-looking woman covers herself with a silk scarf as her scarf covers her tightly as she clings to the man beside her. Her soft white dress dominates the navy blue robe, with the design of a golden embroidered serpent, as she looks lovingly at the man beside him. Her luscious lashes flatter as she looks at her husband holding their sleeping baby on his arm as he rockabye the baby to sleep while the man looks lovingly at his sleeping princess on his arm.

"She looks beautiful as you, Liana. I'm afraid men will haunt her to marry once she hit her age." He says suddenly making his wife look at him with disagreement. "I think you shouldn't worry about that in her first appearance to this world." She says in a soft quiet voice to avoid making her baby Aadya wake up. The pink blanket made from webs of golden spider and pink cotton from the coldest and floating country, living with its nickname of 'Floating Ice', that absorbs cold temperature while the mixture of webs helps the cotton to utilize the one who wears it to feel the warmth inside, These webs create various kinds of cloth yet it held an incredible warmth that is perfect for the harsh cold of winter that as if the cold weather didn't affect the user at all. These kinds of materials, and just ten inches of these materials, cost a lot of money.

"But I still can't help but to worry...especially when she hits puberty," he says as the determination in his eyes evident, determination to make every man in this world frightens and only a few people who think to be worthy enough to be his daughter's husband...but that would be hard because everyone was already afraid of him...

but that only makes everything perfect for him. He'll just spoil her little princess until she decided that she didn't need a lover or a husband and just stay with her parents.

These thoughts were evident to Oswald's face making his wife smacked him on his head. The lady is clearly displeased yet a bit amused at her husband's antics that she didn't know if he's still the man that was said to be 'scary and merciless'... Just looking at him makes her shook her head sideways... Really, baby Aadya makes her father wrapped around her tiny fingers voluntarily that, again, she couldn't help but just to leave and let the husband reflect and find himself back to that scary old oof.

"Stop those non-sense thoughts of yours dear, everything will be alright. With you thinking of marriage for our day-old daughter is the most absurd thinking you've ever done after you propose, and embarrassing yourself to the public, is not even that crazy anymore if you compare to your thoughts. Just let our little princess be." She scolded her husband as she took Aadya from her husband's arms as she walks away with the man feeling so dejected on his spot.

"I am not thinking about marriage, my love! Please let me hold her" he begs as he runs to Liana but the lady already teleported somewhere in the manor, leaving the man felt dejected in a row.

===One Year Later===

"Dada!"

a one-year-old says as she stood up and reaches for her father's hands while the man's heart melts at his daughter's cuteness. Her white dress sways as she walks towards Oswald while the man in a silky red robe embroidered by a fierce serpent, kneels as he waited for her daughter to reach him. Liana on the other hand sits at a chair beside her husband as she knit a cute pink soft scarf for her baby Aadya while her lush and long black hair sways through the air gracefully as her simple white dress compliments the gracefulness that the lady held.

Her eyes closed as her long lashes touches her cheeks whilst a content smile forms naturally on her lips, enjoying the rare moment she has with her family. The baby's legs wobble as it struggles to walk with the baby's chubbiness. The cute rosy cheeks of Aadya puffs in determination as her eyes lock with her dad's figure and smiling face making her walk faster to reach her that. At the few steps though, she stumbles at the ground– dirtying her soft pink dress as her hands were on the ground, turning pink as the dirt touches the sensitive skin of the baby.

Oswald and the maid's heart's skips a beat as they were about to lift her and help her regain her balance, but the young Aadya, lift herself up—still, determination fills her face– and continues her walk, carefully this time, until she reaches her Dad, who on the other hand— filled with joy and tears at the corner of his eyes as if Aadya just won in a battlefield with no scratches or injury at all.

"Did you see that, my love? Have you seen how amazing our daughter is!" He says with such excitement that no-one had ever seen in his eyes, such sparkle was held to those dark orbs as if he was a child that was given candy by his mother for a reward. His smile wide and genuine as his smile almost reached his ears.

"yes yes our child is amazing," Liana says, her tone fills with amusement as her eyes lock with Aadya's weird one that only she and her husband would love. The child smiles at her as she stood up and picks Aadya from her husband's arm.

Aadya giggles as she clings to her mother's warmth as Liana rocks Aadya back and forth making the child giggles even more. She plucks a yellow flower— that looks like a sunflower— from the line of a bunch of flowers, as she places it between Aadya's little ear whilst it glazes lightly under the sun's bright rays. The blue bright and unpolluted sky compliments the soft pinkish cotton-like clouds as it moves gracefully in the air.

Aadya looks at the sky in fascination as her chubby arm reaches the sky, opening and closing her little fingers while she giggles cutely. Oswald went beside his wife as they lean unconsciously to each others' comfort.

Oswald wraps his arm around his wife's waist as Liana leans to his chest whilst both of them watch their only daughter look at the sky with fascination. Oswald leans down as he kisses his daughter's cheek then to his wife's forehead making his heart filled with joy, love, and contentment that he never felt before he met his wife.. he was a cold, merciless, and miserable man who follows the command of the vacant throne. Only the royals were the only ones he follows.

but that another time for that.

The maids silently walk away as they give the couple space and privacy, with smiles and knowing smirks as they bow while they leave the garden quietly.

The couple walks towards colorful sakura trees that create a huge circle in the center as the colors—pink, purple, white, and sky blue— creates the illusion of enchantment as it sparkles under the suns ray while it covers the sun from the ground, creating a perfect rest place and picnic park for all.

As they walk towards the pathway naturally created by pixies as some greet their owner with a bow while some simply just wave at them. The couple nodded in acknowledgment as they went to their resting spot at the corner of the biggest sakura tree, but this time they choose the purple one because they want to appreciate the color that their daughter's eyes have. The couple watches the sky peacefully as they appreciate natures natural beauty, as Liana couldn't help but remember the times she spent with her husband and their daughter making her heart fills with happiness, warmth, and love that she never felt... she oath to protect her family no matter what.

The sakura tree matches the lavender eyes of the young lady, Aadya. Under the sakura tree, the baby looks at the beautiful bloom of the tree, with her eyes wide and sparkling and mouth wide in awe, while she clings to her mother's embrace. The wind passes by as it touches lightly the tree making it sway and as some of the leaves to fall as Aadya catches a purple leaf as she turns around and climb up a little making Liana look at her with questioning eyes. Oswald also watches the two in the corner of his eyes as he saw his daughter climb up and put the leaf between her mother's ears.

"Mamwi... pwetty!" Aadya says in delight as she feels proud that she managed to speak three words in a day as if she really understands what is meant to older people but she still felt proud of herself as she repeated the words in excitement.

And that is how the Census Household started its lively life in the Manor.
